Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored nine Canva design tips to help you create beautiful, professional-looking eBooks — without the design overwhelm! Whether you’re polishing up your first digital guide or refreshing an existing one, this series was all about helping your content shine with clarity, confidence, and creativity.
Here’s a quick recap of each post so you can catch up (or revisit your favourites!).
1. Text Boxes: Your Design’s Secret Organisers
If your text ever feels a bit everywhere, this one’s for you. We talked about using text boxes strategically to keep your content neat, consistent, and visually balanced. Think of them as invisible little containers that help your ideas look as clear as they sound.
2. Background Features: Make it obvious or skip it - but not too obvious
When adding a pattern to the background of a page, if it’s too faint, it can make your page look dirty rather than stylish. But if it’s too obvious, it can become too distracting. So what is the magic opacity number? It can depend on the image, but in this post I give you the guidelines.
3. Asymmetry in Canva: Playing by Your Own Rules
Symmetry is safe, but asymmetry adds personality. Here we explored how to break the rules on purpose to create layouts that feel dynamic and engaging. Perfect for when you want your design to have that “something interesting” vibe.
4. Balance & White Space: The Art of Breathing Room
Sometimes the magic is in what you don’t add. This post focused on how to create calm, elegant designs by giving your content a little breathing space. Because cluttered pages can make even the best ideas feel heavy.
5. Consistency: The Key to a Professional Look
Fonts, colours, spacing, styles — keeping them consistent is what makes your eBook feel cohesive and polished. This one’s all about building trust with your reader through thoughtful, repeatable design choices.
6. Proportions & Hierarchy: Guiding the Reader’s Eye
Your design should lead the reader’s attention naturally — like a friendly guide walking them through the page. This post covered how to size and style your elements to make your message clear and easy to follow.
7. Flow & Readability: Keeping Readers Engaged
Even a beautiful design falls flat if it’s hard to read. This one focused on how to make your eBook flow — from choosing readable fonts to creating smooth transitions between sections. Think of it as design that feels like conversation.
8. Adding Images: Bringing Your Words to Life
A well-chosen image can say more than a paragraph ever could. We explored how to choose images that support your message, match your brand’s energy, and add that extra spark to your content.
9. Adding Links: The Final Touch of Interactivity
The last step in creating an engaging eBook! We talked about how to add clickable links in Canva so your readers can easily find your offers, freebies, or website. It’s that final detail that turns a static PDF into a connected experience.
